tai4de2 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Is there a comic or magazine collecting scene in Bangkok? I've seen photos of some old Mad Magazine in Thai, would be interesting to acquire. Seems like they're from 20-30 years ago, maybe around 4 editions, possibly some kind of bootleg, but definitely in Thai. How to tap into that scene in Bangkok?

katana Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I have seen Thai fun comics with cartoons (like ขายหัวเราะ) where the humour is similar to Mad magazine from the US. Perhaps less political though. Their is actually a torrent running at present containing 500 editions of Mad magazine (US version). You'll need software to view it eg ComicRack. Just tried a Google search for แม็ด which seems to be how they spell it in Thai, but didn't turn up much. There's a video here of a Thai edition of Mad with a Star Wars story, which seems to be just a translation of the US edition of Mad. Would be interesting to take a closer look at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arunsakda Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I used to read Mad when I was a kid in the seventies/eighties, also had a huge collection of National Lampoon. Unfortunately I got ripped off in college once and lost a bunch of cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
